A wireless mouse offers convenience without a cumbersome cord cluttering up your workspace. With the popularity of notebook and netbook computers on the rise, many computer users prefer a wireless mouse instead of the touchpad that comes standard with mobile computers. A standard mouse is powered by the computer, but a wireless mouse takes a battery, and access to the battery is often disguised by the sleek compact style of the mouse.
